Is the email: em-s.dropbox.com legitimate? [Answer: Yes]
I have received an e-mail telling me of a new document available for me in Dropbox. The e-mail is from an address that ends with " em-s.dropbox.com ". Can anybody confirm that " em-s. " is a valid adjunct to " dropbox.com ", or is it sooner a trick?
Thank you.
Hi Everybody,
I can confirm that these emails were sent from the Dropbox domain and are not harmful. This is one of the official domains Dropbox uses to send out emails. You can find the full list of domains here: https://help.dropbox.com/security/official-domains.
You can safely ignore them, though there was no negative impact to your account if you did click through the emails. You should not receive anymore emails of this type.
Regards,
Ben

Hi Hannah,
A follow up on this. I am continuing to get the mails, suggesting that I upgrade. How can I stop this happening? I assumed the account related to the DropBox business was removed when I reverted to as personal account.
Thank you.

Hey EatSteve!
Even if the Business account was converted to a personal account, the account would still exist, if it never got deleted.
And if it's filled with files that make it go over its available quota, you'll keep receiving these emails.
Since you still have access to the email address, I'd suggest logging in and perhaps deleting some files, to bring it under quota, to stop these emails.

Hey there, Bill S., I hope you're doing well!
If you have a look at our official Dropbox domains, you'll see this is indeed an email coming from us, informing you about how you can sync your files between devices.
Let me know if you need anything else, thanks!
I got the following email:
Its from <no-reply@em-s.dropbox.com> and it came into my priority folder. It's fake right?
Thanks in advance
I received an email notification that there was a "Shared File waiting for you". When I went to click on it, it was a file shared with me from 2020. Is there a reason I would've received that notice today about it?
